Let's divide 404481 by 85
Our goal is to divide 404481 by 85.

On to step 1:
85 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 40 / 85

On to step 2:
When dividing 40 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 404 / 85

Step 3:
404 divided by 85 is 4 with a remainder of 64.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 340 from 404 to get 64.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 64 and repeat the process: 644 / 85

On to step 4:
85 goes into 644 7 times with a remainder of 49.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 47.0
If we take 595 away from 644, we end up with 49.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 498 / 85

Step 5:
If we divide 498 by 85, we get 5 and a remainder of 73.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 475.0
If we subtract 425 from 498, we get 73.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 73, then carry on: 731 / 85

Going ahead to step 6:
731 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4758.0
Subtract 680 from 731 to get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 510 by 85, we get 6 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4758.6
If we take 510 away from 510, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 85 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4758.6
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
85 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4758.6
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4758.6 with a remaining 0.0.
